Chapter 494: 494, when the money is in place, everything can be discussed.

“From now on, if you need anything or money, just go straight to your brother-in-law. He’s got plenty of money! We don’t lack money!”

Little Luoluo: “…”

When dinner was almost ready, Shi Huan suddenly heard the doorbell.

By the time she came out, Chu Xiuhuang was already arranging for people to do things.

Seeing the two deliverymen carrying in a rectangular sofa, Shi Huan hurriedly asked, “Chu Xiuhuang, what are you buying this for?”

“It’s yours.”

“I don’t need it. This sofa is too big, and there’s nowhere to put it in the house.”

There were only her and little Luoluo at home. Where did they need such a big sofa?

“It’s already been delivered, and I’ve paid for it. It can’t be returned. Do you want to throw it away? A sofa worth five hundred thousand; are you sure you want to just throw it away? So reckless?” Chu Xiuhuang fired a series of questions.

A five hundred thousand sofa?

Shi Huan was almost knocked out by this number, “Chu Xiuhuang, this sofa is too expensive, I really…”

“You go cook, I’ll handle this.” Chu Xiuhuang impatiently waved her away, then began to order the deliverymen, “Hurry up and bring it in, be careful not to hit the coffee table.”

Shi Huan: “…”

Returning to the kitchen, she soon ran out again, “Then what should I do with my small sofa?”

“Throw it.”

“I bought it from a second-hand market for over a thousand!”

“I’ll give you ten thousand later.”

Shi Huan once again: “…”

Well, money does talk.

After finally finishing cooking, Shi Huan brought out the meals and placed them on the coffee table. “Chu Xiuhuang, dinner’s ready.”

Eat fast and leave fast!

Little Luoluo picked up her chopsticks, and just as she was about to clasp a rib…

“Wait!”

Little Luoluo was startled.

Shi Huan watched as Chu Xiuhuang took out his phone and took a “click” picture of the four dishes and one soup on the table.

“Okay, you can eat now.”

Shi Huan was speechless, she picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of rib into little Luoluo’s bowl. “Eat quickly.”

Chu Xiuhuang directly posted the photo on his social media.

The photo showed four dishes and one soup: sweet and sour ribs, Kung Pao shrimp balls, okra with oyster sauce, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and seaweed egg drop soup.

The caption read: ‘Loving dinner cooked by my girlfriend.’

His friends quickly began to give thumbs up and comment.

Ming Jing: [Second brother got a girlfriend?]

Nangong Ci: [The one I know?]

Ming Jing: [Who?]

Nangong Ci: [Not telling you.]

Gu Huai’an: [Okra?]

Nangong Ci: [Tsk, okra is good stuff, nourishes yin and yang, very nutritional.]

Lu Chenyu: [Garlic okra is delicious.]

Nangong Ci: [Chenyu, you just sour. Second brother is supposed to have intimate contact with his girlfriend, how could he possibly eat garlic?]

Lu Chenyu: [Hehe.]

After Chu Xiuhuang looked at them, he directly sent a message to Huo Jingshen, [Quick, look at my social media.]

Huo Jingshen: [?]

Chu Xiuhuang: [Quickly, no comments means you’re not my brother!]

A few seconds later, Huo Jingshen replied to the post with two words, [Childish!]

That old buzzard!

Just be jealous!

After finishing the meal, Shi Huan immediately said, “Chu Xiuhuang, are you going back by yourself, or should I drive you?”

“What’s the hurry? I want to watch the financial news. Help me turn on the TV.”

“Chu Xiuhuang, you can watch it at the hospital as well.” Shi Huan said, but she still turned on the TV.

Chu Xiuhuang didn’t say anything, seeming to be very focused on the TV.

Shi Huan had no choice but to return to the kitchen and start doing the washing up.

Chu Xiuhuang’s eyes were on the TV, but his thoughts also followed her into the kitchen.

What a virtuous girlfriend!

…

Shi Huan didn’t come out again until half an hour later, and looking at the time, she said, “Chu Xiuhuang, I’ll take you home now, little Luoluo needs to take a bath and go to bed soon.”

“You help her bathe first, don’t worry about me, I want to finish watching this news.” Chu Xiuhuang was glued to the TV.

“Okay.”

Shi Huan took little Luoluo into the bathroom.

Chu Xiuhuang sat in the living room, and after a while, he finally heard the sound of rain outside.

He got up and went to the balcony.

When she opened the window, sure enough, there was a torrential rain outside.

The rain was quite heavy, and soon, the curtain of rain covered everything, with a hazy and blurred view which made it hard to even see clearly.

It seldom rained this heavily in Nancheng during winter.

Chu Xiuhuang nodded in satisfaction.

He looked at the time. It was eight fifty in the evening.

The Chief of the Meteorological Bureau worked efficiently. The promised artificial rainfall had started before nine o’clock. Quite dependable.

**

At nine o’clock, the bathroom door opened and a little girl, Little Luoluo, dressed in a small floral nightgown, walked out adorably. Shi Huan was following behind her.

Chu Xiuhuang coughed twice. Before Shi Huan could speak, he took the initiative and said, “It’s raining heavily outside, so I decided to stay here for tonight.”

Shi Huan looked surprised and glanced at the balcony, “Really? It’s raining?”

“Yes, the rain is really heavy, and it’s so dark outside, it’s dangerous to drive. If you don’t believe it, you can check for yourself.” Chu Xiuhuang added after he’d finished speaking, “Rest assured, I won’t sleep at your house for free. Ten thousand for a night, how about that?”

“It’s not about money. My apartment is just too small, it only has one bedroom, there’s honestly nowhere free for you to sleep,” Shi Huan explained.

“I could just sleep on this sofa.” Chu Xiuhuang patted the sofa, “You just need to get me a blanket and a pillow.”

Shi Huan looked at him suspiciously, “Mr. Chu, are you pulling my leg?”

Was it simply a coincidence that he’d adamantly stayed, planned upon staying overnight, bought a big sofa, and even checked the weather forecast ahead?

It all seemed too convenient!

“What are you saying? Can I predict the future? Am I some kind of Immortal?”

“…”

Seeing the young woman still has an unhappy face, obviously the money was not enough.

Chu Xiuhuang gritted his teeth and pulled out his trump card, “One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand dollars for one night here; how about it?”

“Well… okay then,” agreed Shi Huan, who once again couldn’t resist the money.

Just for him to sleep on her living room sofa for one night, she would get one hundred thousand dollars. Who wouldn’t be tempted by that?

Chu Xiuhuang picked up his bag, smiling in satisfaction. As expected, with the right price, everything was negotiable.

“I’m going to take a shower now.”

“Okay.”

…

After getting into the bathroom, Chu Xiuhuang looked around.

The space was not big. Fortunately, there was a bathtub and a shower.

As Little Luoluo had just taken a bath, the room smelled faintly of bathing gel.

All kinds of toiletries on the shelf were clearly meant for females.

Chu Xiuhuang glanced around, took a toothbrush out of his bag, and put it in Shi Huan’s cup, taking a quick picture with his phone.

He then put his towel next to Shi Huan’s and took another pic.

He used her bathtub, shower, shampoo, body wash…

Finally, Chu Xiuhuang wrapped her towel around himself, looking in the mirror, he couldn’t resist but took another photo.

Yeah.

**

After Shi Huan had put Little Luoluo to bed, she had brought a pillow and a blanket to the living room.

While she was putting covers on the duvet, she kept glancing at the bathroom.

What was going on with this Mr. Chu?

Why was a grown man taking so long in the shower?

Finally, she heard a “click” sound when the door was opened.

Shi Huan turned around swiftly, only to almost get blinded.

There Chu Xiuhuang stood, wrapped only in a small pink towel.

His short, black hair, dripping wet, still steaming, water droplets falling down while he wiped his hair with a large towel.

Shi Huan’s face turned red immediately.

Not because she was shy, but because she was outraged.

“Mr. Chu, that was my towel you were using!”

“So what?” Chu Xiuhuang wiped his hair, looking confused.

“How can you just use someone else’s stuff without asking? That’s so impolite!” Shi Huan was trying to keep her voice down in fear of waking Little Luoluo, but as a result, her anger came out a little lacking.

“You’re my girlfriend, not someone else. Why can’t a boyfriend use his girlfriend’s things?” Chu Xiuhuang responded matter-of-factly, “Plus, if I didn’t use yours, should I use Little Luoluo’s? Hers is way too small. It would hardly cover my tall and handsome body, so… were you expecting me to just come out naked?”

“…” Shi Huan clenched her fist, her face was full of displeasure.

“Alright now, isn’t it just a towel? What’s the big deal about using it?” Chu Xiuhuang looked at her, his eyes teasing, “You’re so unwilling to let me use it?”

Shi Huan didn’t answer.

But the answer was very obvious.

A towel was a very private personal item, which she used every day, and now, it was wrapped around him.

Even just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable.

“Since you clearly don’t want me to use it, then I won’t.” Chu Xiuhuang said, then suddenly yanked off the towel.

Before Shi Huan had time to react, he had already taken off the towel and flung it carelessly onto the sofa.

Filled with shock and surprise, she was frozen in silence, staring at him, not even realizing what had happened for several seconds.

Until she turned around abruptly.

There was a loud “bang!” in her head.

Her face was burning up, especially when she heard the man’s suppressed laughter.

She closed her eyes for a moment. Gathering herself, she bowed her head and whispered fiercely, “Mr. Chu, can you first…”
